ASMR
ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) is a pleasurable feeling or a sensation that people experience during a stimulating audio-visual activity, that is relaxing and deeply personal, or an activity that involves a simple, therapeutic role-play. It is a kind of art-form that is soothing and sleep-inducing.
ASMR: The tingling sensation
ASMR is a personal, individual experience, with very little science behind it. People enjoy a deeply relaxing whispering video or a role-play, which gives them a tingling sensation on the back of their head and spine. It may be a mundane, monotonous activity like tapping, stirring, or crinkling objects, but they kick in a pleasure sensation in many.
The feeling varies and is somewhat similar to a sexual turn-on, in many cases.
Having ASMR
People get tingles through different kinds of sensory inputs.
Some people find out at an early age that they feel a therapeutic high when they are touched or tickled and love the attention they are given.
Others find that some simple activities or role-plays put them in a trance-like state.

ASMR in the news
ASMR is a growing creative outlet with millions of viewers and followers.
Reddit has a subreddit on it with 130,000 subscribers. The New York Times, Washington Post, and BuzzFeed have covered it.

Watching someone whispering to relax, is a need for some, which is now taken care of by the internet.
The Future of ASMR
ASMR will most likely remain a niche for a number of people on the internet since not everybody experiences it.
But there are some technological advancements that could greatly advance ASMR. Virtual reality, in particular, has a lot of ASMR video makers and viewers excited since it could bring a whole new level of immersion to the experience.

Workers and Leaders Need To Tell Good Stories
As freelancing is becoming common, people with powerful personal brands have a leg up on getting jobs and being promoted. And personal brands are built on, among other things, telling and sharing great stories.
Stories help us hold attention, remember and persuade. Savvy leaders tell stories to inspire and motivate us as they understand that “what you say” is often moot compared to “how you say it.”
Businesses Need To Tell Good Stories
